Professional statement

Mr Harun Thomas is a leading consultant oncoplastic breast surgeon based in Southend-on-Sea and Chelmsford who specialises exclusively in breast surgery and the management of breast cancer, breast lumps, breast pain, and other breast symptoms. With over 25 years’ experience, he currently consults privately at Spire Wellesley Hospital and Springfield Hospital, where he holds one-stop breast clinics.

As a specialist, Mr Thomas is able to provide the full range of breast surgical procedures, including mastectomy, breast-conserving surgery, wide local excision (lumpectomy) alongside (implant-based) breast reconstruction, sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary surgery. He also offers breast screening and assessments for male breast diseases such as gynaecomastia. His special interests are therapeutic mammaplasty (the use of plastic surgical techniques in breast surgery to improve clinical and aesthetic outcomes) and intra-operative ultrasound (using ultrasound during surgery to improve surgical outcomes).

Mr Thomas, who sees over 1,500 patients with breast symptoms every year, is one of the few surgeons in the UK to have completed both a Masters in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery – Europe’s highest qualification in the specialism area – and the prestigious National TIG Oncoplastic fellowship. He also has a Masters in General Surgery and a Diplomate from the National Board of Examination, and is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England since 2013. Within the NHS, Mr Thomas is a consultant oncoplastic breast surgeon at Southend University Hospital, where in addition to his regular consultant duties, he is also an education lead.

Beyond his high-quality breast surgical practice, Mr Thomas has previously served as president of the UK Breast Surgery Trainees Association and as an ex officio committee member of the Association of Breast Surgery, UK. He is, at present, an honorary senior lecturer and module lead at the University of East Anglia, and the author of several publications in peer-reviewed academic journals.

If you are faced with a Breast Cancer diagnosis and are looking for answers, I cannot recommend Mr Harun Thomas enough. After months of chaos trying to get a firm diagnosis of what was happening in my body I was told that I could choose my surgeon and where to have treatment. After much research I drew up a short list and Mr Thomas was the first on the list. I cannot begin to describe the sheer relief I felt on meeting him. He patiently listened to me and the struggles that my husband and I had experienced. We felt seen and felt heard. That is so important when given a Breast Cancer diagnosis. We finally felt safe. We have had many appointments with Mr Thomas. He has explained everything calmly, professionally and made us feel that no question we asked was foolish. He gave us numerous options on how to proceed so we felt that we had complete control. This is an extremely important factor when being told you have Cancer. He enabled us to take back control. I am currently 4 weeks post surgery. Together with his team of fantastic Breast Cancer Nurses, he has been with us every step of the way. He visited me once I woke from the surgery to explain how the surgery had gone and ensured that I was happy. He continued to monitor my progress throughout the following weeks discussing my progress, results and any concerns we had. My recovery has been phenomenal. He had fully informed us of what was to be expected post-surgery but I am delighted that my recovery has been so rapid. Furthermore, every medical practitioner I have seen post surgery has been shocked at my rate of recovery and asked “who did your surgery” I think that says it all. If you research Mr Harun Thomas you will see that he is a highly qualified and experienced surgeon. That aside, I can attest that Mr Thomas is also a warm, kind, sincere man and I am grateful to have placed my life in his hands.
